“We will not abandon the Constitution. In the same manner that if we ask the explanation of the Supreme Court, they also have to explain to us. In the same manner that we will have to comply with their request that we explain our position with respect to the pending cases. Otherwise, we will break down the system of government that we have,” dagdag pa ng senador.

“My reading of the Constitution is that in this special situation is that we have the sole power to try and decide the case. Meaning, no one can interfere with us as long as we apply the Bill of Rights and the Principle of due process, as long as we do an impartial and fair administration of justice,” wika pa ng pangulo ng Senado.
